Either way is fine by me. I have seen that background music adds emotion to anything. I cannot say how many times I have cried while watching something or listening to a poem because the soft background music dips and increases at the right places. You know what? I think poetry is better with background music.complimentarymatters wrote: ↑07 Nov 2007, 18:29 Is poetry better with or without background music? Do you think background music tends to make the poetry better, or do you think it takes attention away from the poetry?

Lyrical music, the final form, is far more powerful than just poetry.
I suppose in some instances, the music can "overtake" the words in that it becomes more important- but I don't think we have any need to think of it as pitting them against one another.
